    Need help....12th Independent Rifle Brigade


    Recommended Posts

    Hi gentlemen,

    I got a group awards to a Guard Major who served in 12th Independent Rifle Brigade, Crimean front, in early 1942 as a Sr. Political Instructor.

    But I can not find any reference about the 12th Independent Rifle Brigade. So I need your help, thank you.

    As of Nov 1941 the 12th Rifle Brigade was part of the 51st Army (Lt.Gen. Batov, as of Dec Lt.Gen. Lvov) of the Trans-Caucasian Front (Lt.Gen. Kozlov). On 30 Dec the Front was renamed to Caucasian Front. On 28 Jan the Front was split in two, and the largest part became the Krim Front (Lt.Gen. Kozlov). The brigade remained being part of the 51st Army until Apr 1942.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    I think the 12th Rifle Brigade was disbanded after the Krim Front withdrawed, right?
